"I AM UNIQUE" is a deeply personal expression of my journey toward self-love
and acceptance. This piece is a celebration of the unique beauty that lies within
each of us. The central figure, painted in soft yet vibrant shades of green,
symbolizes growth, healing, and the profound connection between our physical
bodies and our inner spirit. The swirling forms that make up the body reflect the
fluidity and grace of movement, reminding me of the incredible gift it is to be
able to walk—a gift I once took for granted.
The figure stands boldly, representing the strength and resilience that I've come
to embrace. The abstract nature of the form invites you to see yourself in the
strokes, to recognize your own unique beauty in the curves and lines that
compose this figure. Light, ethereal brushstrokes above the head resemble a
crown or a burst of energy, symbolizing the divine light within us all—a light that
shines brightest when we fully accept and love ourselves.
This painting is inspired by a pivotal moment in my life when my (ex) husband lost
the ability to walk after a scuba diving accident. Watching him regain the use of
his legs through sheer determination taught me to love and appreciate my own
body, a lesson I hadn't fully grasped until then. Before this, I was critical of my
body, always feeling that I was "too fat." But his experience made me realize
how precious it is to have a body that moves, and I began to love every part of
myself.
"I AM UNIQUE" serves as a reminder that true beauty is not found in meeting
societal standards but in the love and light we carry within. It's a message that
we are all beautiful just as we are. My journey led me to find true love by letting
go of superficial criteria and embracing the beauty that comes from within. May
this painting remind you that you are unique and beautiful just the way you are,
and that true beauty is expressed through the love we share with the world.
